There is a book of some hundreds of pages that attempts to discover just who was on the "Welcome" with William Penn, and gives information on the first generation or two of their families. I believe (but don't fully trus my memory on the details) that the author is McCracken, and the title is /Welcome Claimants, Proved, Disproved, and Doubtful/. I don't have a copy at hand, so can't tell you if it includes any Browns. -- Dan Treadway P O Box 72 Gilbert IA 50105 treadway@netins.net http://showcase.netins.net/web/treadway/ -----Original Message----- From: Patsy Hand [mailto:ghand@viptx.net] Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2004 6:35 AM To: QUAKER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Q-R] Re: Mr. Brown, A Quaker Christina, could you please tell me where and how I might find some info on this Wm.
